The Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Sussex reunited for the first time since Prince Philip’s funeral on Thursday July 1 to unveil a statue of their late mother. Blanca Cobb, a body language expert, analysed the brothers at the unveiling of Diana’s statue at Kensington Palace.
Ms Cobb said Harry was looking to reconnect with William.
However, William was more guarded according to the expert with the Duke facing away from his brother.
She said: “When Harry would actually turn his feet to angle towards his brother, his brother didn’t respond by turning towards Harry.
“He was more stoic. He was less engaging with his brother and, in my opinion, Harry was trying to make attempts to engage.”

On July 1, the brothers issued a joint statement paying tribute to their late mother on what would have been her 60th birthday.
They said: “Today, on what would have been our mother’s 60th birthday, we remember her love, strength and character – qualities that made her a force for good around the world, changing countless lives for the better.
“Every day, we wish she were still with us, and our hope is that this statue will be seen forever as a symbol of her life and her legacy.”
William and Harry were 15 and 12 years old when Diana died in August 1997.

He said: ‘It was a very well-judged decision not to have speeches.
“They demonstrated a constructive way of dealing with differences.
“[They were] not sweeping [their differences] under the carpet but acknowledging more important things and doing that in a way that warmed everyone’s heart.”
